Description:
An incorrect conversion from indexed to associative array in bash script leads
bash interpreter to segfault (bash still gives a useful error report in this situation,
which is good).

As seen in the output of GDB, bash terminates in array_flush function:

Core was generated by `../untars/bash-43-39/bash-4.3/root/bin/bash -x repro'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x0000000000470879 in array_flush (a=0x19de728) at array.c:111
111             for (r = element_forw(a->head); r != a->head; ) {



Repeat-By:
The following script may be used to repeat the problem:

#!/bin/bash
aaa() {
    declare -g -a unique=()
}
bbb() {
    declare -g -A unique=()
}
aaa
bbb


When run with -x, it gives the following output:

+ aaa
+ unique=()            
+ declare -g -a unique
+ bbb
repro: line 8: bbb: unique: cannot convert indexed to associative array
+ unique=()
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
